The Person performing any property valuation (including an appraiser) received no benefit from, and such Person’s compensation or flow of business from the originator was not affected by, the approval or disapproval of the Mortgage Loan. The selection of the Person performing the property valuation was made independently of the broker (where applicable) and the originator’s loan sales and loan production personnel. The selection of the appraiser met Fannie Mae’s criteria for selecting an independent appraiser.

(b)Data. Any information provided by the Seller (or any of its affiliates) to the Purchaser with regard to each Mortgage Loan Package and Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to the information set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule and any diskette or other related data tapes or data files sent to the Purchaser and the information and documents contained in the Mortgage Files and in the Servicing Files is true and correct in all material respects as of the related Closing Date; provided, however, that the following fields set forth in any such data tapes or data files are true and correct in all respects: “Total Loan Amount”, “Note Rate”, “First Payment Date” and “Term”. The information on the Mortgage Loan Schedule is consistent with the terms of the documents contained in the Mortgage Files and, except for information specified to be as of the origination date of the Mortgage Loan, correctly and

accurately reflects the data contained in the Seller’s records (including, without limitation, the Mortgage File). Any seller or builder concession in excess of the allowable limits established by the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, has been subtracted from the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property for purposes of determining the LTV and CLTV as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule. No Credit Score was more than four (4) months old at the time of funding of the Mortgage Loan. The Appraised Value or other property valuation used to qualify the Mortgagor for the Mortgage Loan was not more than six (6) months old at the time of the Mortgage Loan closing.

(c)Fraud. No fraud, material error or omission, material misrepresentation, gross negligence or similar occurrence with respect to the Mortgage Loan has taken place on the part of the Seller or, (1) the originator of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the Mortgagor, (3) any broker or correspondent, (4) any appraiser, escrow agent, closing attorney, servicer, realtor, builder, developer or title company or (5) any other Person, including, without limitation, any appraiser, title company, closing or settlement agent, realtor, builder, developer or any other party involved in the solicitation, origination or sale of the Mortgage Loan, the determination of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the application for any insurance in relation to such Mortgage Loan. The documents, instruments and agreements submitted for loan underwriting were not falsified and contain no untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the information and statements therein not misleading. No Mortgagor utilized a false identity in the origination of such Mortgage Loan. As of the Closing Date, the Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage File and Servicing File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

(d)Underwriting. Except for underwriting exceptions that are documented in the Credit File and set forth in the related data tapes or data files sent to the Purchaser, each Mortgage Loan was underwritten in conformance with the Underwriting Guidelines in effect at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan without regard to any underwriter discretion. All underwriting exceptions are based on reasonable and documented compensating factors that are disclosed to and accepted by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, prior to its purchase of the related Mortgage Loan. The methodology used in underwriting the extension of credit for the Mortgage Loan includes objective mathematical principles that relate to the relationship between the Mortgagor’s income, assets and liabilities and the proposed payment, where applicable. Except for certain Business-Purpose Mortgage Loans as permitted by the Underwriting Guidelines, such underwriting methodology does not rely on the extent of the Mortgagor’s equity in the collateral as the principal determining factor in approving such credit extension. The Mortgage Notes and Mortgages (exclusive of any riders) are on forms acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac. As of the Closing Date, the Mortgage Loan bears interest at the Mortgage Interest Rate set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule, and Monthly Payments under the Mortgage Note are due and payable on the first day of each month. The Mortgage contains the usual and enforceable provisions, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws, of the Seller at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder. Except as provided in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, no Mortgage Loan had a CLTV at the time of origination of more than 90%.

(e)Regulatory Compliance. Other than with respect to the Truth-in-Lending – RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (“TRID”), which is covered by Representation (aaa) hereinbelow, any and all requirements of any federal, state and local laws including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity, fair housing, predatory and abusive lending or disclosure laws applicable to the origination of the Mortgage Loan have been complied with. The origination practices used by the originator with respect to the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been

in all respects legal and in compliance with all Applicable Law. No Mortgage Loan secured by property located in the State of Georgia was originated on or after October 1, 2002 and prior to March 7, 2003. The Mortgage Loans have been serviced in accordance with all Accepted Servicing Practices in all material respects. No Mortgage Loan is (a) subject to the provisions of the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 as amended (“HOEPA”), (b) a “high-cost” loan, “covered” loan or any other similarly designated loan as defined under any applicable predatory and abusive lending laws, (c) subject to any comparable federal, state or local statutes or regulations, or any other statute or regulation providing for heightened regulatory scrutiny or assignee liability to holders of such mortgage loans or additional legal liability for mortgage loans having prepayment penalties, high interest rates, points and/or fees, or (d) a High Cost Loan or Covered Loan, as applicable (as such terms are defined in the current Standard & Poor’s LEVELS® Glossary Revised, Appendix E). Each Mortgage Loan complies with or is exempt from applicable state, federal or local laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury. No Mortgagor, with respect to a Mortgage Loan, was encouraged or required to select a loan product that was a higher cost product designed for less-creditworthy borrowers, unless at the time of the Mortgage Loan’s origination, such Mortgagor did not qualify, taking into account credit history and debt-to-income ratios, for a lower cost credit product then offered by the originator (or an affiliate thereof).

(f)Environmental Compliance. There does not exist on the related Mortgaged Property any hazardous substances, hazardous wastes or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, or other applicable federal, state or local environmental laws including, without limitation, asbestos. There is no pending action or proceeding directly involving the Mortgaged Property in which material compliance with any environmental law, rule or regulation is an issue, and each Mortgaged Property complies with all environmental laws, rules, and regulations. Nothing further remains to be done to satisfy in full all requirements of each such law, rule or regulation constituting a prerequisite to use and enjoyment of the Mortgaged Property.

(g)Mortgagor. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, the Mortgagor was not in bankruptcy and was not insolvent. Except as set forth on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, either the Mortgagor is a natural person who is legally permitted to reside in the United States or the Mortgagor is an inter-vivos trust or other entity as allowed for in the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. No Mortgaged Property is subject to any pending loss mitigation agreement, including but not limited to any deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, forbearance, deferral or repayment plan. There are no circumstances or conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or the Mortgagor’s credit standing that could reasonably cause the Mortgage Loan to become delinquent.

(h)No Prior Liens. Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment contemplated herein to Purchaser, the Mortgage Loan, including the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, was not subject to an assignment or pledge and the Seller was the sole owner and holder of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby, free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature, other than Permitted Liens, and the Seller has good, indefeasible and marketable title and has full right and authority to sell and assign the Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature, except for Permitted Liens. Following the sale of such Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will have good, indefeasible and marketable title and will hold such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature, other than Permitted Liens. The sale of the Mortgage Loan from the originator or any prior holder to the Seller was in exchange for fair equivalent value. The Seller intends to relinquish all rights to possess, control and monitor the Mortgage Loan.

(i)Enforceability and Priority of Lien. The related Mortgage is a valid, subsisting, perfected and enforceable first lien or a first priority security interest on the Mortgaged Property described therein (subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Mortgage and the Mortgage Note do not contain any evidence of any other security interest or other interest or right thereto. The Mortgaged Property is free and clear of all adverse claims, liens and encumbrances having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage subject only to Permitted Liens. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates in the Seller a valid, subsisting, perfected and enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the property described therein (subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and the Seller has the full right to sell and assign the same to the Purchaser. The related Mortgaged Property was not, at the time of origination of the Mortgage Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, or other security instrument creating a lien senior to the lien of the Mortgage.

(j)Mechanics’ Liens. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, there are no mechanics’ or materialmen’s or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (and no rights are outstanding that under law could give rise to such liens) affecting the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to or equal to the lien of the related Mortgage.

(k)Deed of Trust. In the event the Mortgage is a deed of trust, a trustee, authorized and duly qualified under Applicable Law to serve as such, has been properly designated, is named in the Mortgage and currently so serves, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Purchaser to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after default by the Mortgagor.

(l)No Modifications. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any material respect except by a written instrument that, if required by Applicable Law, has been recorded or is in the process of being recorded and reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule. The written instrument reflecting such terms has been included in the Mortgage File. No Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, from the terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, except in connection with an assumption agreement which is part of the Mortgage File and the terms of which are reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Schedule.

(m)No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage and Mortgage Note have not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any such cancellation, subordination, rescission or release.

(n)Taxes Paid. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, homeowners’ association fees, ground rents, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments and all similar assessments which previously became due and owing have been paid by the Mortgagor, or an escrow of funds from the Mortgagor has been established, to the extent permitted by law, in an amount sufficient to pay for every such escrowed item which remains unpaid and every item which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable.

(o)No Damage/Condemnation. Except as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, each related Mortgaged Property is, in all material respects, in good repair and undamaged by waste, vandalism, fire, hurricane, earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other casualty adversely affecting the value of a Mortgaged Property or the use for which the premises were intended. There is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property. Each Mortgaged Property is in substantially the same condition it was at the time the most recent Appraised Value was obtained.

(p)Fee Simple Estate / Leasehold / No Encroachments / Compliance with Zoning. With respect to a Mortgage Loan that is not a Cooperative Loan and is not secured by an interest in a leasehold estate, the Mortgage creates a first lien or a first priority ownership interest in an estate in fee simple in real property securing the related Mortgage Note, subject only to Permitted Liens. If the Mortgage Loan is secured by a long-term residential lease: (i) the terms of such lease expressly permit the mortgaging of the leasehold estate, the assignment of the lease without the lessor’s consent (or the lessor’s consent has been obtained and such consent is in the Mortgage File) and the acquisition by the holder of the Mortgage of the rights of the lessee upon foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or provide the holder of the Mortgage with substantially similar protection; (ii) the terms of such lease do not allow the termination thereof upon the lessee’s default without the holder of the Mortgage being entitled to receive written notice of, and opportunity to cure, such default or prohibit the holder of the Mortgage from being insured under the hazard insurance policy related to the Mortgaged Property; (iii) the original term of such lease is not less than 15 years; (iv) the term of such lease does not terminate earlier than five years after the maturity date of the Mortgage Note; and (v) the Mortgaged Property is located in a jurisdiction in which the use of leasehold estates for residential properties is an accepted practice. All improvements subject to the Mortgage which were considered in determining the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Mortgaged Property except those which are insured against by a title insurance policy. The Mortgaged Property and all improvements thereon comply with all requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.

(q)Leasehold Interests. No Mortgaged Property is subject to a ground lease.

(r)Legally Occupied. The related Mortgaged Property is being (or within sixty (60) days will be) lawfully occupied except as permitted under the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan), the originator gave due consideration to factors, including but not limited to, other real estate owned by the Mortgagor, commuting distance to work, appraiser comments and notes, the location of the property and any difference between the mailing address active in the servicing system and the subject property address to evaluate whether the occupancy status of the Mortgaged Property as represented by the Mortgagor is reasonable. Neither Seller nor its servicer has received notice from the Mortgagor, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person of any noncompliance with any use or occupancy law, ordinance, regulation, standard, license or certificate with respect to the Mortgaged Property. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities. With respect to each Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property securing the related Mortgage is non-owner occupied.

(s)Mortgage Loan Legal and Binding. The related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other Mortgage Loan Documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan are genuine and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in all respects in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). All parties to the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and other Mortgage Loan Documents executed in connection with the Mortgage Loan had the legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver the related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage. The related Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties.

(t)Proceeds Fully Disbursed / Recording Fees Paid. Except for escrow funds for exterior items, which could not be completed due to weather, and escrow funds for the completion of swimming pools, the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note. With respect to any mortgage broker fees collected and paid on any of the Mortgage Loans, all such fees have been properly assessed to the Mortgagor and no claims will arise as to such fees that are double charged and for which the Mortgagor would be entitled to reimbursement.

(u)Existence of Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan (except (1) any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property located in any jurisdiction as to which an opinion of counsel of the type customarily rendered in such jurisdiction in lieu of title insurance is instead received and (2) any Mortgage Loan secured by Cooperative Shares) is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy or other form of policy or insurance generally acceptable to Xxxxxx Xxx or Freddie Mac, issued by a Qualified Insurer (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, covered by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the Qualified Insurer), insuring (subject to Permitted Liens) the Seller, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and against any loss by reason of invalidity or unenforceability of the lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage. Additionally, such policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress to and from the Mortgaged Property and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. The title policy does not contain any special exceptions (other than the standard exclusions) for zoning and uses, and, where required by Applicable Law, a specific survey reading has been conducted in connection with the issuance of the title policy. Where required by applicable state law or regulation, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Immediately prior to the transfer of the Mortgage to the Purchaser, the Seller, its successors and assigns, are the sole insureds of such lender’s title insurance policy. Such title insurance policy has been duly and validly endorsed to the Purchaser or the assignment to the Purchaser of the Seller’s interest therein does not require the consent of or notification to the insurer; and such lender’s title insurance policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect and all premiums thereon have been paid. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy. The title insurance policy (i) is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Qualified Insurer and is in full force and effect and will inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and will be in full force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) contains a standard mortgagee clause naming the originator, its successors, and its assigns as mortgagee.

(v)Hazard Insurance. All buildings or other customarily insured improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured by a Qualified Insurer against loss by fire, hazards of extended coverage and such other hazards as are provided for in the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or by the Freddie Mac Guides in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the improvements securing such Mortgage Loans and (ii) the greater of (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (b) an amount such that the proceeds thereof shall be sufficient to prevent the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgagee from becoming a co-insurer, but in no event less than the minimum amount necessary to fully compensate for any damage or loss on a replacement cost basis. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit, it is included under the coverage afforded by a blanket policy for the project. If required by the FDPA, the Mortgage Loan is covered by a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration and in accordance with the Xxxxxx Xxx Guides or the Freddie Mac Guides, in an amount not less than the least of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) the full insurable value of the Mortgaged Property, and (3) the maximum amount of insurance available under The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended and The Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. Such policy was issued by a Qualified Insurer. If required by Applicable Law, the Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain all such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense, and upon the Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. All such standard hazard and flood policies are in full force and effect and contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the Seller and its successors in interest and assigns as loss payee; and all premiums due and owing on any such policies have been paid in full.

(w)Insurance Coverage Not Impaired. With respect to any insurance policy including, but not limited to, any Primary Mortgage Insurance Policy, rent loss insurance policy, or hazard or title insurance policy, covering a Mortgage Loan and/or the related Mortgaged Property, none of the Seller, the Interim Servicer, any prior holder or any other person has engaged in any act or omission that would impair the coverage of any such insurance policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for therein, or the validity and binding effect thereof including, without limitation, the provision or receipt of any unlawful fee, commission, kickback, or other compensation or value of any kind and no such unlawful items have been received, retained or realized by Seller. No action, inaction, or event has occurred and no state of facts exists or has existed that has resulted or will result in the exclusion from, denial of, or defense to coverage, under any such insurance policies. All conditions within the control of Seller as to the validity of the insurance or guaranty on any Mortgage Loan, as applicable, with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% upon origination of any Mortgage Loan, as required by the applicable private mortgage insurance companies or other insurers of the Mortgage Loans, if any, have been continuously and properly satisfied and said insurance or guaranty is currently valid and enforceable.

(x)No Default. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration. Additionally, the Seller has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and no foreclosure action has been commenced or is currently threatened with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

(y)No Rescission. No Mortgage Note or Mortgage is subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or the exercise of any right thereunder render the Mortgage Note or Mortgage unenforceable in whole or in part, or subject it to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and no such

right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted or threatened with respect thereto.

(z)Enforceable Right of Foreclosure. The Mortgage relating to a Mortgaged Property contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against such Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including realization by judicial foreclosure (subject to any limitation arising from any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other law for the relief of debtors). The Mortgage contains terms that would allow, upon default by the Mortgagor on a Mortgage Loan and foreclosure on, or trustee’s sale of, the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the proper procedures, the holder of the Mortgage Loan to deliver good and marketable title to the Mortgaged Property. There is no homestead or other exemption available to the Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged Property at a trustee’s sale or the right to foreclose on the Mortgage.

(aa)Mortgaged Property is One-to-Four Family. The Mortgaged Property consists of a single parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon, or a townhouse, or a two-to four-family dwelling, or an individual condominium unit in a condominium project or cooperative unit in a cooperative project, or an individual unit in a planned unit development or a de minimis planned unit development, provided, however, that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home.

Other than a Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan, as of the date of origination, no portion of the Mortgaged Property was used for commercial purposes, and since the date of origination no portion of the Mortgaged Property has been used for commercial purposes; provided, that Mortgaged Properties which contain a home office shall not be considered as being used for commercial purposes as long as the Mortgaged Property has not been altered for commercial purposes and is not storing any chemicals or raw materials other than those commonly used for homeowner repair, maintenance and/or household purposes. Except as otherwise permitted by the Underwriting Guidelines, if the Residential Dwelling on the Mortgaged Property is a condominium, as indicated in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or a unit in a planned unit development (other than a de minimis planned unit development) such condominium or planned unit development property meets the eligibility requirements of Xxxxxx Xxx and Freddie Mac.

Part 1026.43(e) and 12 C.F.R. Part 1026.43(c) is included in the related Credit File. Prior to the origination of each Mortgage Loan (other than any Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan), the originator made a reasonable and good faith determination that the borrower would have a reasonable ability to repay the Mortgage Loan according to its terms, in accordance with, at a minimum, the eight underwriting factors set forth in 12 C.F.R. § 1026.43(c)(2) as the same may be amended from time to time (or any successor statute or regulation).

(ac)Consumer Laws. Each Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan will only be used for commercial or business purposes as defined in Section 104(1) of TILA, 15 USC 1063(1), and Section 1026.3(a)(1) Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. 1026.3(a)(1), and each Mortgagor has represented that the Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan will only be used for commercial or business purposes as defined thereunder. Further, none of the Business-Purpose Mortgage Loans are subject to any federal, state or local laws governing consumer credit, including, but not limited to, TILA Regulation Z, RESPA and Regulation X, HOEPA and any state laws applicable to “high cost,” “predatory,” threshold” or similar loans. With respect to each Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan was not originated primarily for a personal, family or household purpose, as

defined in the TILA and its implementing Regulation Z, and such Mortgage Loan was originated for a business purpose only.

The Seller has not advanced funds or induced, solicited, or received any advance of funds from a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by the Mortgage Loan.

(ae)Acceleration of Payments. The Mortgage contains the usual and, subject to Applicable Law, enforceable provisions of the originator at the time of origination for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal amount of the Mortgage Loan if the related Mortgaged Property is sold or transferred without the prior consent of the Mortgagee thereunder.

(af)Sole Collateral. As of the related Closing Date, the Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured by any collateral other than the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage.

The Mortgage Loan does not contain “graduated payment” features, does not have a shared appreciation or other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature or an equity participation by the Seller and does not contain any buydown provisions. The indebtedness evidenced by the Mortgage Note is not convertible to an ownership interest in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor and the Seller has not financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form in the Mortgaged Property or the Mortgagor.

(aj)Recordable. As to any Mortgage Loan which is not a MERS Mortgage Loan, the Assignment of Mortgage and any intervening assignments, if any, showing a complete chain of title from the name of the originator to the name of the Seller is in recordable form and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If the Mortgage Loan is a MERS Mortgage Loan, MERS properly reflects the complete chain of title from the originator to the Trustee as Purchaser’s designee. The Mortgage either has been or will promptly be submitted for recordation in the appropriate governmental recording office of the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located.

(ak)Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act. The Mortgagor has not notified the Seller that it is requesting relief under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act, and no relief has been requested or allowed to the Mortgagor under the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act.

at the related Mortgage Interest Rate. With respect to Interest Only Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, each Mortgage Note requires Monthly Payments following the interest-only period that are sufficient to fully amortize the original principal balance over the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan and to pay interest at the related Mortgage Interest Rate.

(an)No Balloon Loans. No Mortgage Loan is a Balloon Mortgage Loan.

(ao)Assignment of Rents. Each Business-Purpose Mortgage Loan includes an Assignment of Rents. If separate from the related Mortgage, each related Assignment of Rents is on Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxx Multistate 1- 4 Family Rider/Form 3170, or other form substantially similar thereto acceptable to Purchaser. Each Assignment of Rents delivered in connection with each Mortgage Loan constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from the Seller and is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor, and each related Assignment of Rents was duly, executed, acknowledged and delivered and creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related leases, sub-leases, licenses or other agreements pursuant to which any person is entitled to occupy, use or possess all or any portion of the real property subject to the related Mortgage, subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property and to Permitted Liens, and the Mortgagor and each assignor of such Assignment of Rents to the Seller have the full right to assign the same. Other than any Assignment of Rents previously assigned to MERS, if separate from the related Mortgage, the related assignment of any Assignment of Rents has been executed and delivered to the Purchaser in blank, is otherwise in recordable form and constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment, sufficient to convey to the assignee named therein (assuming that the assignee has the capacity to acquire such Assignment of Rents) all of the assignor’s right, title and interest in, to and under such Assignment of Rents.

(ap)Income/Employment/Assets.

For purposes of the previous sentence, “Purchaser” shall mean the Person then acting as the Purchaser under this Agreement and any and all Persons who previously were “Purchasers” under this Agreement;

(vi)to indemnify the Purchaser, each affiliate designated by the Purchaser, each Person who controls the Purchaser or such affiliate and hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that each of them may sustain in any way related to (A) any untrue statement of a material fact contained or alleged to be contained in any information, report, certification, data, accountants’ letter or other material provided by or on behalf of the Seller (including by the Purchaser), or provided under this Agreement by or on behalf of any subservicer, subcontractor, independent third-party or third-party originator, regarding the Seller, the Mortgage Loans or the Underwriting Guidelines which is provided to any rating agency in connection with any initial ratings issued in connection with any Securitization Transaction or the surveillance of such ratings (collectively, the “Rating Agency Disclosure”) or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Rating Agency Disclosure a material fact required to be stated in the Rating Agency Disclosure or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(a)Regulatory Compliance.

(viii)The parties hereby agree to comply with the applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental and regulatory authorities, and other Applicable Law related to public and private sales of mortgage loans in whole loan form, securitized form or otherwise (including, without limitation, Regulation AB promulgated under the Securities Act and related interpretations, rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the Xxxx–Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010). The Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser (or a successor purchaser) may securitize one or more of the Mortgage Loans and in connection therewith, the Securitization Transaction may require compliance with Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset-backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, the Seller acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this Agreement to compliance with Regulation AB shall be deemed to include the provision of comparable disclosure, reports, certifications and other information required under Regulation AB in private, unregistered offerings.

(i)In connection with any Securitization Transaction, the Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser to deliver to the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) and any depositor or sponsor of a Securitization Transaction, any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of the Purchaser or any depositor or sponsor of a Securitization Transaction for compliance with Regulation AB together with such disclosures relating to the Seller believed by the Purchaser or any depositor or sponsor of a Securitization Transaction, to be customary or appropriate to effect such compliance. In addition, the Seller further covenants to provide the Purchaser (including any of its assignees or designees) all information the Purchaser (or any depositor or sponsor of a Securitization Transaction) deems necessary in order to comply with any amendments to Regulation AB and any other securities laws and regulations with respect to information provided in connection with a securitization of the related Mortgage Loans. The Seller acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by the Purchaser or any depositor or sponsor of a Securitization Transaction in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB and other applicable rules, regulations or laws. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any new laws, rules or regulations affect other provisions of this Agreement that affect public and private sales of the Mortgage Loans and/or Securitization Transactions, the Seller agrees that it shall cooperate with and negotiate in good faith, any necessary amendments of such provisions so as to comply with such applicable laws, rules and regulations.

SECTION 13. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

SECTION 14. NO PARTNERSHIP.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a co-partnership or joint venture between the Parties.

SECTION 15. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF

THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS OF NEW YORK (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

EACH PARTY HERETO KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 16. INTENTION OF THE PARTIES.

It is the express intention of the Parties that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller and not a pledge of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. Further, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not intended in any way to constitute the sale of a “security” or “securities” within the meaning of any applicable securities laws, and none of the representations, warranties or agreements of the Seller or the Purchaser shall create any inference that the transactions involve any “security” or “securities.” Consequently, the sale of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected as a sale on the Seller’s, and a purchase on the Purchaser’s, business records, tax returns and financial statements. Accordingly, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. However, if such transaction is deemed to be in respect of a loan, it is intended that: (i) the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a first priority security interest to secure repayment of an obligation in an amount equal to the Purchase Price in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans; and (iii) this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Purchaser and the Seller by written agreement signed by the Parties. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

SECTION 18. EXHIBITS.

The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.
